This is a training Dojo that is both set outside and inside the main buildings of the Covert Ops Squad. Requested by the Captain, it is a simple arena, with no barricades of any kind, and a simple structure of both intricate straw and sturdy wood. In comparison, the Dojo located outside is larger than the one located inside the building, mostly due to there being no restrictions, like walls, to hinder it, and is why the second Dojo lies separated from the rest of the various buildings of the Covert Ops Squad. These Dojos are designed for one-on-one combat, mostly, but can accommodate multiple fighters. Most of the Squad here trains with the kendo sticks instead of Zanpakto, to avoid injury. At a rare moment, a Squad Two member might spot the current Captain, Rin Kamiishiro, training here as well, testing the collective might of all of the members who are gathered at the Dojo. The rules for the Dojo, as stated by the Captain, are that anything goes as long as it does not cause damage the the arena itself. Other than that, any member of the Squad can request a time and practice to their heart's content.

Rin fell back into his fighting stance, holding his wooden katanna straight and steady, as his current opponent fell down to earth. This was probably going to be the final face-off of the day, by the looks of it. Soon enough, though, he stood and gave Rin a very stiff-looking bow. Rin nodded in response, blowing his slightly agitating black hair out of his face. This one had made progress and that was the important thing. After all, he was in Squad Two, the Squad that Rin was Captain of. In any case, Rin's last opponent stepped off the arena, joining the rest of the Squad that had either stopped by to watch or to chat, as the normal etiquette that Rin expected out of them was different here. So, Rin continued his normal practice hat he did everyday before returning his office. As he paused in between this exercise, Rin spotted some familiar faces here and there. All except for Natsumi, who Rin suspected was off looking for something to observe, which was fine with Rin. Cause Rin knew that if she was here, it would definitely bother him immensely. He slashed overhead and under in succession, trying to detect exactly how fact he could go. Rin eventually slowed down breathing a collective sigh of tiredness, and adjusting his glasses, which where slightly askew. Rin was beginning to get bored of this, and he was already tired. And so Rin leisurely made his way to put away his sword; He felt now was the time to go ahead and pack it in for the day....

Natsumi made her way over to the dojo. After walking around the 2nd division area she had seen little to no one at all. On top of that she had no idea where the captain was for that matter. The sun was shinning bright today, and left a warm glow against her skin. She strolled the walk ways of the division in silence and was rather enjoying the sounds of birds chirping in the distance. But that silence was soon broken when she heard the sound of cheering and clapping coming from the direction of the dojo. Curious to see what it was that was going on she made her way over to the doors. One foot after another she strolled up to the steps. Slowly and casually she walked up the steps until she reached the top Plateau where the front entrance was. The doors were open, to let the breeze in from outside and fill the area with fresh air. Which was great considering a bunch of men where the ones usually occupying the area anyways. Inside the open room she could see the squad members sitting down watching the scene unfold before their eyes. In the center of the room stood the captain with the wooden sword in hand. There was his opponent, sitting on the ground after him knocking him down against the floor with ease. Natsumi walked over to the doorways trim and leaned with her back against it. Her back was perfectly straight against the wall and her arms weren't crossed, but clasped together gently dangling in front of her."You could at least give them a fair fight....Captain." Her eyes closed as she spoke she continued to lean against the wall, allowing the sunlight from the outside to hit against her face and arms.

Rin turned as he heard that slightly familiar voice that came from the open doorway of the Dojo. It was Natsumi, funny enough, with her usual somewhat casual yet indifferent demeanor. A very werid coincidence that she appeared after he happened to think about her but, that was neither here nor there. Rin already felt slightly uncomfortable in her gaze. Just like within every other situation like this. She probably felt that he might be being too hard on the other squad remembers, but Rin thought he had a perfectly good reason for that."I want them to get better. And besides, how would I make it even, or even train myself without a opponent?" questioned Rin. He twirled his wooden sword in his hand as he spoke, wanting to be rid of this new nervous energy that had appeared with just the appearance of Natsumi. And it was going to be hard to hide if all eyes were going to be on only him and her."Besides, most of them have at least doubled their progress from last time."The rest of the crowd gathered fell silent, their collective curiosity causing them to want to hear the conversation."Besides, I'm ready to pack it in, in any case. Did you want the arena to yourself? It's all yours." Rin would not admit it, but he was ready to be out of the room right now....

Rin's answer was nothing less than what she expected. Being that he was the captain of their squad it only makes since that he would want them to grow stronger. But this kind of training suited well for the 11th squad, who use brute force to defeat an opponent. Their squad are specialized in assassinations. But training was training none the less. As her captain went on to explain himself further Natsumi opened her eyes and gazed at him from the corner of her eye. Bringing herself off the wall by pulling with her ab muscles she started to walk. Soon the warm sunlight was left behind. Her hair followed behind and waved in the wind as if it was clinging to the sunlight. The soles of her feet clicked against the ground as she walked closer and closer to where the captain stood. Soon Natsumi answered his question as she walked further towards him."Of course the training would be good for them, for they are fighting an opponent stronger than them. But for you, it's nothing but a walk in the park. They can't push you enough. They lack the skills needs to be a challenge against someone of your rank." As she finished speaking she stood before her captain. Arms dangled to her sides and her gaze meeting his she continued."I know you're ready to leave captain, so be my guest. But it seems we have gathered the attention of the squad, and we wouldn't want to disappoint them. I'm sure they would appreciate if we showed them where you would like them to be." Without verbally challenging Rin to a dual Natsumi pressured him into doing it by bringing the fact that all eyes where on them. After all a captain we meant to lead and teach. He couldn't just say no.

Rin watched as Natsumi approached him, making him even more nervous than he already was previously. Why'd did she have to be so close? Regardless, she did bring up a good point in response to what he said. Ron did admit it was easy for him, but, most of the time, he was here to help the Squad members grow, not himself. In this sense, Natsumi was absolutely right, and Rin knew it. He just wished he didn't have to fight her because of it. Rin began to avoid her gaze as their eyes met, as he knew he wouldn't be able to handle this nervousness if it went any further. Rin slightly grimaced at this proposal from Natsumi, but, it was to prove his own point. She had essentially pushed him in a situation where he had to agree or disappoint the entire Squad in the process. Rin allowed himself a smirk."No, we can't have that, now can we?" said Rin slowly, making his way back to the center of the arena, holding the same wooden katanna from the last match. This was going to be difficult, and for all the wrong reasons. A collective murmur rose form the crowd: This was new thing, as Run had never met Natsumi in any kind of sparring before. "First to either land a killing blow or forfeit wins. Does that sound fair to you?"
OCC: Huh. I wonder exactly how complicated the process is....Eh. You know what? I don't want a template all of sudden. Change of heart.

As she spoke she could tell that Rin did everything he could to not look her directly in the eyes. 'Why does he avoid my gaze?' She asked herself. She didn't understand why he did this. It confused her. Regardless of her confusion on why he did this, it seemed her words struck truth. Rin's face soon grew a smirk and slowly made his way back to the center of the arena. It was then she knew that he had agreed with her. Grabbing herself her own wooden sword she made her way to the center, on the opposite side of which Rin stood."Understandable." Was her response. Before the two would begin she would give a bow out of respect then raised her wooden sword at the ready."Shall we?"
OCC:// It's really not that difficult I figured it out all on my own. But you also need a picture to make one of course.

Rin, being respectful, bowed to Natsumi as well before adopting his fighting stance. "We shall." said Rin solemnly. He had mentally prepared himself, but, he knew that he was liable to make a mistake here. There was a pause, as Rin took a minute to plan exactly what he wanted to do, or what he should be aiming for in this battle. The feeling of being nervous, and now jittery wasn't helping, but, soon enough Run had a plan in mind. This was important in Rin's strategy here, and he knew he must have a plan to be able to win this match. He couldn't just go in blind and suddenly win. The atmosphere of the Dojo was stuffed with excitement over this match, as Run usually avoided scenarios where him and Natsumi had to fight. This was new for most of the Squad members. Rin rushed foward, not wanting to use any of his real speed for the Monet, and aims an double-sided attack: First moving in on a quick stab to the stomach, and then ending with a swift horizontal slash to the chest. This was going to be the only obvious attack from Rin, mostly because he wanted to gauge exactly how Natsumi was going to handle the fight, then react to whatever she decides. Rin would attempt to counter whatever path she wanted to take in this battle.
OCC: Well, take me under your wing, so to speak. If you're willing to teach me the ropes, that is.

The two stood silently staring at one another. Natsumi could tell that Rin was thinking of what he should do how to go through with it. Funny, even though she was his lieutenant he had never once sparred against her. This should make for one interesting fight. This it begun, Rin had made his first move. Running quickly up to Natsumi he made his first strike at an attempt to land a hit on her stomach. Stepping to the side ever so slightly the tip of his kendo stick missed it's target. The look in his eyes indicated that he wasn't done yet, and the movement of his arm proved that to be true. Almost directly after his first move he swiftly slashed his stick horizontally to her chest. To avoid loss there was only one sure fire way to avoid it, and that was to jump backwards. As her feet landed against the wooden floor she switch the way she was gripping on her sword and pushed off the ground, darting back in the direction of the captain. Her stick was held to her hip with both hands and as she approached her target she slashed her stick upwards in a diagonal motion and followed it with a straight slash across the base of the neck.

Rin made a clicking sound as Natsumi evade his attacks with little effort. He had expected her speed though, as she was his lieutenant, after all. As Natsumi jumped to avoid his second attack, Rin readies himself for the counterattack, the inevitable retaliation. And so it came, with first an upward slash, which Rin deftly avoided by leaning back with one foot off the ground with an added small hop, and completely straightening his own swordhand for his own counterattack. Natsumi's movement did not stop, though, so Rin prepared to dodge the next attack, which came to him as a stoke aiming for his neck, a soft spot. The neck was a nice place to aim, and Rin was surprised he hadn't striked at it first. Rin used speed to duck under the strike, falling into a crouch with one leg outstretched. Now using Shunpo to increase his speed, Rin spun as if upon an axis,turning but holding himself in place, aiming for three continuous strikes, one after the other. The first was aimed at Natsumi's knees in a horizontal strike. The second aimed for the stomach like the last failed attempt. And the third retaliated by aiming for Natsumi's neck, which was a killing blow if I happened to land. Rin was going to escalate the lethality of his actions the more that battle continued.

Despite her speed Natsumi failed to land a single hit. But she couldn't expect anything less than someone of his stature. Evading her attacks He ducked down as her strike to the neck slashed through the air missing her target. Her eyes remained fixed on her captain. He's leg was stretched out and she knew what the next most likely move would be. Jumping in place she raised her knees to her chest missing both his leg and lower slash to the knees. But he was faster than she had thought and was already going for the second attack. Twisting her wrist downwards and her other hand gripped the end tip of the sword as the wooden blade was pointed downwards. Her feet reaching for the ground, but not yet touching she felt his stick make contact with hers. Because he used shunpo to increase his speed his momentum, Natsumi had to hold onto her stick tightly in fear of losing her stick. 'He's still going?!' she thought to herself. There was no way she could raise her stick to block the next attack. She had two options, let him put in the finishing strike and win the match so soon, or evade using the very technique her captain used herself. As soon as her feet touched the ground Natsumi used Shunpo, blurring from sight only to reappear a few feet away from where she originally stood. Her hair waved in the wind, then falling into place against her back."If I knew we were allowed to use Shunpo I would of used it a long time ago Captain." As she stood before him Natsumi held her kendo stick with one hand her eyes starring him down, while the rest of her face remained fixed. 'That was close, he almost landed that last hit. she thought to herself. Now she was more hesitant on attacking her captain.
Now she was ready, to continue, but she wasn't sure how much longer she was able to last. If he was going to get more complex his skill level will soon pass lieutenant level and venture into captain ranked skills.'If that's the case I'll need to end this quick' Holding the stick with both hands now she held it in front of her and widened her stance, standing at the ready. Taking her first step forward she dashed forward towards Rin. A series of attacks was about to take place in hopes of finishing the spar with victory. Upon approacing rin natsumi moved her kendo stick to her waist and holding it against herself, then when reaching Rin she would stab it forward, against for the stomach. Slashing it horizontally across her abdominal area she continued. After making her straight line across his body she struck diagonally upwards across his chest. Then reaching the peak of her strike tried to slash downwards on top of his head. But she would leave herself open to a chest strike and she knew that. In fact she had planed on it. If he would take the bait her plan could work. Then using shunpo again she quickly made her way around Rin and stopped when she stood behind him. Lunging forward she tried to finish with her last strike. A jab through the back in an upwards direction. If it were a real sword made of an actual blade the sharp edges would of pierced through his back and making it's way through several internal organs. But would her plan work?

Natsumi did well to avoid his first two attacks, they were simple in nature, after all. Then using a very unusual way of partying in mid-air was ingenious of her. But, according to Rin's plan, it was only going to make things more difficult for her. If only he was a little faster, Rin would have gotten his killing blow, but, Natsumi used Shunpo at what seemed be the last second. Rin stopped momentum by using his sword as a medium by hitting the ground. "I've stated before that in this Dojo, anything goes that is not destructive. So be prepared for that, Natsumi." Being in the heat of battle, Rin managed to stare back at Natsumi with excitement. Rin whistled as Natsumi widened her fighting stance. She was looking to end this soon, by the looks of it. Perhaps she had already figured out what he was doing, so no need to go easy for any longer. As she ran foward towards Rin, he dropped his traditional fighting stance. It was time to get very unconventional, just for the sake of confusion.
The first attack, aimed towards the stomach, was a quick stab. Rin flicked his wrist to the right with his swordhand, crashing his kendo stick with her's just for a moment, moving the stick's trajectory past him. To counter he next attack, the horizontal slash, Rin crashed his kendo stick with Natsumi's again, this time from below. This changed the area of the strike to instead sail above his head instead of his chest. Rin dodged the next attack by leaning to the right with the speed of Shunpo, but the overhead strike he completely blocked with the flat of his blade. Rin thought the barrage of attacks were over, but, suddenly she was behind him. She was aiming for a killing blow from behind, a prime spot for death. Rin would attempt to counter this by first using Shunpo yet again, this time to fall foward, where Rin place his hand on the floor to stop himself from hurting himself. Rin still managed to keep his swordhand straight, as he swung his legs in a sweeping motion, trying to get Natsumi off of her feet, while also turning to face her. Once facing to correct direction, Rin proceeded to aim for a killing blow in the center of the stomach with a downward lunge. And if Natsumi presumably happened to be on the ground, her fighting stance would be in shambles....

Rin defended against all of her attacks with ease. Move after move their sticks collided. Even when she left herself open for a body stick he didn't take it. Instead he went to block her strike instead.As she struck for the back it looked like she had him. The squad members held their breath as they too, thought she had him. Could it really be? Was a leuitenant about to win a sparring match against a captain?
Suddenly Rin fell forward dodging her attack. In one swoop of his leg he kicked her feet out from underneath her. Falling onto her back made sure to not let Rin out of her eye sight. He spun around and faced her. It was clear what his next attack was going to be. All she would have to do is roll over to one side. But then again it was only a sparring match, and she was ready for it to be over already. Within second Rin and hit his mark winning the match. Looking up at her captain she spoke with a straight face." Congratulations on your victory captain Rin.' Lifting her free hand she touched the wooden stick with two fingers and gently moved it to the side, away from her body. Allowing herself to sit up and climb back onto her feet. She had hoped that the match was enough to prove her point.

#32. Ōkasen (黄火閃, Yellow Fire Flash) Unknown Ōkasen is primarily used for offense. The practitioner raises his/her Zanpakutō horizontally in front of him/her and generates a yellow orb that widens itself along the length of their sword. Once it is fully charged it fires outward as a horizontal blast, in a wide arc of yellow energy at the target. This technique can be launched from the hand instead of a Zanpakutō, albeit producing a shorter arc
#4. Byakurai (白雷, Pale Lightning) The user gathers high-density spiritual energy and discharges it from both hands. The practitioner points at the intended target with their index finger and generates a concentrated lightning bolt.
Hoho
Dash (Jikkō 実行) A quick push off of the ground (or air) allows one to effectively move out of the way an incoming attack or close a distance gap between an opponent.

Air Slide (Kūki Suberu 空気 滑る) Much like the Dash technique, Air Slide is initiated when the user pushes off of the ground and in a certain direction. However, Air Slide allows one to "glide" across the ground or up a steep surface.
Shunpo (瞬歩, Flash Steps) A high-speed movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. As speed is the main point of the technique the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps. The user blurs out of sight of a brief moment then reappears wherever it is that they wanted to move. It should be noted that the user of this technique CANNOT pass through matter or high concentrations of spiritual energy.
Air Walk (Kūki Aruku 空気 歩く) The user collects spirit particles at their feet and is able to remain airborne or gain effective footing when sent flying by an opponent.

Rin was sure Natsumi would have, or should have dodged his attack. He only realized this as his lending stick was coming down: just a simple roll backwards, and she can have the upper hand. But, his aim was true, and landed the blow needed for him to win."No, thank you, Natsumi. You proved it point. Which is why..." Rin pointed his wooden stick at Natsumi as he paused, "I want to see your full potential-- with your Zanpakto. We'll be going head to head here, I want to see how good you are with your Zanpakto." Natsumi had peaked Rin's interest: now he simply want to see her skills for what they were. Rin turned towards the rest of the Squad that had assembled here, who had broke into murmuring since the match has ended:"As for the rest of you, sparring time is over. I expect for you all to return to your regular duties. If anyone requests my assistance, please bring them here." So, one by one, the Squad members assembled in the Dojo trickled down until no one by Rin and Natsumi where present. Rin had already placed his and Natsumi's kendo sticks back upon the rack, where they're was supposed to be. Rin returned to the center of the Dojo floor, drawing his own Zanpakto out of it's sheath."Let me elaborate a bit more. This is not a mandatory thing. You can decline this offer, you may have more important things to attend to. This isn't going to be much of a sparring match, but essentially Zanpakto Training, and that includes your Shikai. We can start with Shikai or not, at your request." Rin was hopefully Natsumi would agree, his curiosity was really bugging him....

Natsumi was relieved to see that her captain was able to see the point she was trying to make. She had fully expected that he would then leave the training dojo, for as he stated mere moments against, he was done with the place. Instead he continued talking and stated he was wanting to see her full power. Not with the wooden kendo stick but with her actual Zanpakto, and wanted to start here. Handing her kendo stick over to Rin as he went to go put up the sticks she nodded slightly. The rest of the squad was released to return to their daily duties and were to leave Rin and Natsumi to train alone." You're releasing the rest of the squad. You must be serious." If this were to be a normal training session it would be a great tool to show the squad members, but if he was going to get serious with his actual sword perhaps it was best to have everyone leave. After all they wouldn't want them to get caught in the cross fire.
Rin then clarified that it wasn't a mandatory lesson between the two of them and she had the right to refuse. Returning to the center of the room facing her captain she stood tall. Her eyes were closed as she reached over for her sword."I'd be honored." She stated to him acknowledging that she will stay and held train with her captain. After all it would be rude to decline him, he is a busy man. Grabbing onto the guard she slowing started to pull the sword out of it's sheath. She sound of the metal scrapping against the side of his sleeve filled the air until she had completely pulled it out. slashing her sword downwards and across her body she pointed the sword down, tip first, and making a whooshing sound as she moved it across the body. "On your lead Captain.' she stated, not calling her swords name and activating her shikai. For her shikai there is a time and place to do it, calling it out before hand doesn't sure her any purpose.
